About the organization
The Acumen UK Fellowship is part of Acumen's global fellowship program, which was founded in 2007 to support emerging leaders who are tackling poverty and injustice. The UK chapter, established in 2018, brings together a cohort of individuals from diverse sectors—including social entrepreneurs, activists, and artists—who are committed to creating systemic change. The fellowship is rooted in Acumen's ethos of patient capital and moral imagination, emphasizing a blend of practical skills and ethical reflection. Over a year-long journey, fellows engage in immersive workshops, online modules, and peer learning to develop the tools and networks needed to scale their impact. The program is not a grant-making body but a leadership development initiative that seeks to cultivate a community of purpose-driven changemakers.
